Do you know that Andrew Jackson would be irate to see himself on the $20 bill? Do you know just what George Washington's false teeth were made of? (Not wood!) Check your Presidential trivia and learn more with this easy-to-read and enlightening book: Don't Know Much about the American Presidents by Kenneth Davis.

Presidents’ Day is a little less than a month away. So, the question is how much do you really know about the men who have lead our Nation? What makes a leader? Do you want to learn more?

Stop!...before you answer that question, let me tell you that the books I have chosen are not like text books. Luckily, they not only include facts, but they also have a visual story to tell through illustrations. Children, especially ones who are visual learners, use these clues to help link information about each President with the historical events that took place during his presidency.

First Ladies of the United States are often more interesting than their powerful husbands. Read a little about Dolly Madison or Mary Todd Lincoln, and you’ll see what I’m talking about. For a really interesting read, try Presidential Wives by
